Adding support for recovery event in rte_eth_event framework.
FW error and FW reset conditions would be managed by PMD.
In such cases, PMD would need recovery events to notify application
about PMD has recovered from FW reset or FW error.

What the application is supposed to do when receiving such event?

[Kalesh]:  RTE_ETH_EVENT_RECOVERED event is an indication to the
application that PMD has recovered from the reset and is functional
again(i.e control path and data path is up again). On receiving this event
from PMD, application has to re-create any flow rules created prior to the
reset.

How the application knows that flow rules were resetted?
Is there any other configuration resetted?
These informations must be explicit in the doxygen comments.
